Tough and rough, but really a literary film

Cheryl Strayed's autobiography of the same name. Her already messy life was on the verge of collapse, and through 90-odd days of self-abuse, she hiked the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail, a very difficult hiking route in the United States) alone to find her own story. This set-up looks very literary.

But what deserves four stars is that although the heroine is rough, she speaks an F-word, but she has a strong personality. "Do you think I look like someone who needs help?" Divorce, abortion, etc. are enough to destroy the reasons that many mortals have come out of the major difficulties in their lives.

The most important person in her life, her mother is closer to the literary youth we know. Life is very beautiful, you can be poor and happy, but unfortunately she died early.

The heroine is not a professional hiker. It can be said that all the way is survived by life. Travel through deserts, snow, dry land without water, torrential rains, and all kinds of men with bad intentions.

The last sentence is still in place:

My life ,like all lives,mysterious,irrevocable,and sacred. So very close,So very present,So very belonging to me.How wild it was...to let it be.

Life is yours, and you should choose which way to live, your own thoughts and what you care about are the most important. No matter how unbearable the behavior is in the eyes of others, it is not worth worrying about after all

  • Cheryl: [Cheryl's first inscription on the trail guestbook] "If your Nerve, deny you - Go above your Nerve" - EMILY DICKINSON and Cheryl Strayed.

  • Cheryl: [voiceover] What if I forgive myself? What if I was sorry? But if I could go back in time, I wouldn't do a single thing differently. What if I wanted to sleep with every single one of those men? What if heroin taught me something? What if all those things I did were the things that got me here? What if I was never redeemed? What if I already was?
